#32 - Playoff Time

So the Canucks made the playoffs. Legitimately clinched a spot. In fact, they are now 3 points ahead of Minnesota for top spot in the NW division. In fact, they are also giving Anaheim a run for their money for 2nd in the conference. They have a game in hand over the Ducks and are just on a tear. Mind you their games are close and usually involve a 1 goal win, but a win is a win is a win. When you have Roberto "Bingo Bango Bongo" Luongo in net for you, you really have to not make a showing to lose a game. I'm very excited for this year's playoffs. Tanya and I are going to attempt to catch some games at pubs and soak up all the playoff excitement and atmosphere. If you want to join us, give me a shout!!

Not much else to write about right now. Well, can't think of much to write since I am so tired. Work is going well. I took a day off last week which seemed to somewhat energize and recharge my batteries. I was recalled back to Nanaimo last week to be an Environmental Monitor watching a Log Jam being unjammed. The Koksilah River was flooded and ended up flooding Cowichan Bay Road (just google map these names and you'll see where I'm talking about). They brought in a grapple yarder to pull the logs out which was really neat. The significant portion of the work though was being back in Nanaimo. Tanya had Spring Break so she came out and we made it a mini-vacation. It also brought us some closure on our life in Nanaimo since we left so hastily without truly saying goodbye in November. While Nanaimo is quiet and everything is so convenient to get to, it is also a little too quiet for us big city folk who enjoy going to shops and places after 6pm at night (everything closes at 5 or 6 in Nanaimo, except a few restaurants). We really discovered that Nanaimo is a great place to visit, but in the end, we are very happy to have moved back home.

That's about it for now. Sleepy. I'll post on the experience of watching the Canucks vs. Flames this Saturday night live and let you know if we make it onto HNIC!!
